This velvety chocolate marquise recipe is a European favorite. This cake is topped with whipped cream and surrounded by a mascarpone caramel sauce.

(Be sure to check out the Tip section for substitutions and variations.) Continue reading “Chocolate Marquise Recipe: Flourless and Gluten Free”
This head-turning, gluten free trifle recipe is both colorful and delicious. The cherry glaze shimmers over the fresh cherries and while the colorful, contrasting colors catch your eye. Instead of using gluten-free sponge cake, I used chocolate brownies. With layers of sweetened whipped cream, the flavors balance perfectly. Use fresh cherries when they are in season, or defrost frozen cherries when not. Another option is to substitute the cherries for another fruit with matching flavored jam. You can easily turn this into a strawberry gluten free trifle recipe. Continue reading “Chocolate Cherry Gluten Free Trifle Recipe”
You may be wondering the difference between a waffle and a pancake batter. A gluten free waffle recipe often calls for whole eggs.

Waffles contain more fat (oil or butter) which makes them crisper. Continue reading “Classic Gluten Free Waffle Recipe”

I have been wanting to make some yeast raised gluten free donuts, but was so excited when I discovered picarones. They are also risen donuts, but made with a sweet squash (pumpkin in this case) and sweet potatoes. They are also known as Peruvian donuts as they are popular in Peru. You can make these gluten free donuts using fresh or canned pumpkin. Just note that fresh pumpkin tends to vary in moisture and may not turn out the same. Meanwhile, enjoy these delightful treasures. Picarones leave a lasting impression to tourists who visit Peru. Continue reading “Pumpkin Yeast-Risen Gluten Free Donuts (Picarones)”
